Locksmith Melbourne tips on preventing Car ignition Damage:

Apply Gentle Touch:

Sometimes, especially when you’re in a hurry, we don’t notice how strong we’re inserting the key to the barrel, or how long we’re trying to start the car. If you’re failing in inserting the key to the barrel, remove it and check if it’s the right one. Furthermore, if the car isn’t starting, don’t hold the key until it starts. Turn the key half a turn and wait a couple of minutes. Whatever you do, don’t try to force the car to start by using an excessive force. It’ll cause more damage to the ignition than you think.

Remove unnecessary items from the car keys:

House keys, gym cards, keys for the office, a bottle opener, all can be removed. Having unnecessary weight on the key and barrel, can cause for it to loose and as result to damage the ignition. If not careful, you might have both barrel and ignition problems.

Make sure you’re holding the right sets of key:

If you have more than 1 car, or leaving with someone who has a different car than yours, than you’re in “danger”. Make sure before starting the car that you have the right keys. Try to insert the wrong ones will ruin the barrel and probably cause a serious ignition damage.

In conclusion, if you follow this tips there’s a high chance you can prevent any car ignition damage from happening.
